No. 1 Miami Hosts Pitt at Hard Rock Stadium

Miami's top ranking faces a test with Pitt starting freshman quarterback Corey Dailey after Mason Heintschel suffered a season-ending ACL tear.

Overview

  • The ACC matchup kicks off at noon ET Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens and will air on ESPN.
  • Miami enters 6-0 and unbeaten in conference play after a double-overtime win over Florida State that helped lift the Hurricanes to the No. 1 spot.
  • Pitt is 5-2 and has lost its last two games, and the Panthers will rely on freshman Corey Dailey after starter Mason Heintschel was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
  • Dailey showed big-play ability in his first start by throwing a 75-yard touchdown to Cataurus Hicks, but Pitt has struggled for consistent results since that change at quarterback.
  • Viewers can stream the game on multiple services including Fubo, DIRECTV, the ESPN app and Disney+/ESPN+, and the outcome will shape national perception and ACC positioning for both teams.
